CVE-2023-22452Network attack vector

Cross-server settings modification via unchecked channel IDs

Published Jan 2, 2023 · Updated Mar 10, 2025

Improper input validation in Kenny2github kenny2automate before a947d7c allows remote authenticated users to alter cross-server channel settings. The save_server handler accepts channel IDs from submitted form names and writes their settings without verifying that each channel belongs to the server being configured. Access to any server-settings panel and knowledge of a target channel ID are required, limiting the consequence to unauthorized modification of that channel's bot settings.
